I am an artist - photographer, illustrator, and sometimes painter. I was born and raised in New York but I now live in France with my husband in a nice little suburb only 10 miles from Paris. I am disturbed, funny, sad and happy all at once! Read my blog and my thoughts. :)

Trying to photograph others along with me has always been challenging but nothing has been so much so until this season's attempt at re-shooting a 2 year old idea. About a month ago now, I tried reshooting it. Well, the resulting images didn't thrill me at all. I hated knowing that I had to round up these models (or others) again since it took so long to get them all in one day as it was. Who had to work, who got sick at the last minute, etc. They were many cancelations and re-schedules. Luckily, I work with some gracious people and they were more than happy to try again...in the cold no less. Today was the scheduled shoot. It poured.....I had to cancel...again.

I didn't want to not shoot though so I decided to play around with a couple of ideas indoors. I shot 3 rolls of black and white with a shallow depth of field to blur out the background but here is a digital test shot that is all pretty sharply focused. Not too shabby, maybe?
